Greetings folks:
First of all, we will not forget. Take a little time out to thank God for the perspective you gained for 09/11/2001, as well as Jesus taking care of any overhanging loose ends when He returns. He will serve justice to all, and His Justice, no one can subvert.
Now that I’ve said that, I want you to think about something regarding our unit. Why do you go to church? I’ll wait….
Matthew 22:37-40 “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Think about verse 40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Do you love God? Rhetorical question. If you love Him, obey His commandments, and all
“But Professor, it’s not stated in the 10 Commandments that we should go to church every Sunday.”
Ah, yes, but they do state core basics we need to live off of to avoid sin, grow spiritually, and get closer to Him.
While God is greater than even his Church, church is the primary place where you learn these things (see entries on church leadership and hierarchy). Not necessarily your church, but we should desire our church to give this kind of love and grow in it so that we may keep His Commandments. Be sure to check yourselves though (1 Corinthians 11:28), and make sure you have genuine motives on going to church.
Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
If you fail to be genuine in your love and your faith when you go to church, if you don’t have the faith that you will get something from God that will better equip you to serve Him, then you need to roll out of where you are and seek Him directly, or repent for how you feel, because you’re wasting your time going to church, if the love and faith are not there. Have a good one folks!
